Scanner Reports 9-10-12
updated: Sep 10, 2012, 7:00 AM

By Roger the Scanner Guy

Sometimes I get really depressed listening to the scanner. Hearing all the suicides, Code 40 Drunk calls, Santa Barbara going to HELL with crime. It's SNOT a lot of crime like some cities but there has been a steady climb. Although some reporting of the "Real News" has improved, some of the more violent crimes are still hidden from the public eye. While I get real depressed sometimes hearing some of the calls, I am better able to deal with them because of some of the things I went through in my early years; it feels normal to me.

I used to like watching the Jerry Springer Show because they were always kicking the Scrap out of each other. It was like going home for a visit as long as I watched that show I did not have to go home it was like an addict getting a fix. I really feel for some people listening to the scanner. I know what it's like to lose people that you really love, people that you thought would be here long after you were gone, and people that the only reason why you live is because they are here. I have felt horribly lost for years because they passed on before me. Then came the Scanner Reports, once again giving me a purpose to live, and not only that but helping me to become functional to some extent.

I find myself praying to the great DOG for people who are suffering medical emergencies, or are attempting suicide, or destroying their lives with Alcohol, Drugs, Anger. As fart as Sex Offenders and Abusers, I pray they get sucked into a WOOD CHIPPER 45 or 50 Thousand times for Eternity and then some! Dirty Rotten Scum Sucking Maggots! Speaking of which, that Friggen Mouse stinking little booger I'm nice I don't want to kill him I just want him to leave. Get the HELL outta my little House I was here first! But No he or she will not go. I got on the internet found a humane way to get rid of the little snot. Peanut Butter, Cotton Balls, A bucket, peppermint oil, 3 bricks...OK Take the peppermint oil and put it on the cotton balls place one cotton ball in each room in your house. I don't have peppermint oil. Someone suggested Vicks. I took about 20 cotton balls put Vicks all over them and put them all in the only room in my house. I took the bucket coated the bottom with Peanut Butter put it in the corner with the 3 bricks leading up to the rim of the bucket, so the mousey would climb the bricks like stairs to the rim reach in for the peanut butter fall in WHAMMO! ZAMMO! GONE SUCKA! That little booger I watched him he hoped all three brick stairs turned around looked right at me stretched down into the bucket munched the peanut butter. Then he got back up looked at me as if he or she was laughing and split. If the little booger wasn't so damn cute I'd kill him or her. I guess I have to get a bigger bucket. My old best buddy Pooh Bear is really starting to slow down and it's really bumming me out. I'm hoping he's just depressed like me he's in the corner waiting for that damn mouse to come out.

I'd really like to Thank Liz for bringing me a chair. It was really nice of her to bring me that chair which is wide enough for my girth. I feel like I'm sitting in a pacer. Remember the Pacer? The car made for wide people? I used to be thin as a rail but I wouldn't mind having a Pacer now that I'm shaped like a Pear. Thank You Again Liz!
